Seems to me that it would be unstable as xenon has full electron shells.

If anyone wants to buy TetraXenonGold, Ghanaian vendors are the cheapest.

Hmm, it does seem strange that they would bond. I wonder if this flat lattice is weakly held together by some anti-ferromagnetic effect. Spin up on Gold, spin down on Xenon, the whole structure being lower-energy than would be possible for separated atoms.
Or maybe D-shell bonding is just more complex than the S and P bonding we’re all used to.

AuXe4 compounds are only stable at low temperatures (like -40C) or high pressure since the Au-Xe bonds are weak. The AuXe42+ cation is dark red, and can be brought to room temperature only under 10 atmospheres of Xenon gas.
